Saturday 12 November. Day 262 of the illegal war #Russia is waging on #Ukraine
This is the daily thread with all the news of the conflict

Quite a day yesterday, full of amazing emotions and joyous scenes. If you missed it, just take a scroll through here:
⚡️Breaking⚡️

#Russia's (estimated) war dead today tops 80,000

Just two weeks ago today the total reached 70k.
The daily mean Russian deaths since then has been 711.

Today all the first four categories are above average
#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
the #UK's Defence Minister @BWallaceMP has a message for #Russia and its people after yesterday's liberation of #Kherson and the whole region east of the River Dnipro.
The emotional de-occupation of #Kherson is just the start of a new chapter and some difficult decisions now need to be taken.

#Ukraine says it fears a big missile attack during the G20 summit next week. While places like #Mariupol and #Crimea now in range for Ukraine's artillery
A better video has emerged of the destruction of the #Antonivskyi bridge in #Kherson.

CCTV shows the moment of the enormous blast which finally brought down a section of the main route across the river Dnipro

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
One tweet from late yesterday you may have missed.

#Banksy in #Ukraine!

A wonderful video to celebrate the release of #Kherson, from #Ukraine's Defence Ministry.

#Hallelujah! #SlavaUkraini
No bridge? No problem for #Ukraine.
Seen in #Kherson region.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Interesting. #Sweden spy scandal.

Just weeks after the #Norway drones stories, a far more serious espionage case emerges in its neighbour:

#StopRussia

Apologies. Earlier I posted video of damage to a bridge in #Kherson. It was of course not the #Antonivskyi but the the bridge over the #NovaKakhovka dam.

Any bridges in the region, even if already damaged by #Ukraine shelling, were brought down when #Russia fled.
Refugees from #Kherson have been celebrating all over the world - from near and far.

I know people who immediately moved to #Odesa, not that far away. This morning many gathered outside the world famous opera house in the port city.

#Odessa #SlavaUkraini
Now searching to see if this is translated into English, and if not why not!

@AngryFil's post pointed me to this historic book and highly recommends it.

Paying tribute to #Ukraine's army. The people of #Kherson say thanks for liberating their city.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
Early this morning @alexrossiSKY was engulfed by well-wishers as he accompanied a #Ukraine army crew into #Kherson.

This is near #Chornobaivka and the legendary airport!
A mix of Ukrainian and Russian being spoken.

#Chernobaevka #SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
I have good news - the stuff we bought with your donations crossed the border from Poland to #Ukraine late last night.

Hopefully it will arrive at the front line tomorrow.
You can see how much clothing etc. we got - the document is the border/customs document.
More gifts left behind by #Russia when they evacuated #Kherson oblast.

The Sun's journalists were shown this warehouse in #Blahodatne (RU: #Blagodatnoe) in the north of the territory, near the regional border with #Mykolaiv.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Yet more good news claimed by #Ukraine.

The exiled Governor of #Luhansk oblast tells the national TV show that they have reclaimed 11 more settlements.

Here's the translation of his subsequent post:

#SlavaUkraini #Lugansk
The good people of #Kherson have just escaped #Russia and its curfew, but after one night of celebration they are straight back in to another curfew.

#Ukraine has imposed a 5pm to 8am restriction amid fears some Russians were left behind and changed into civilian clothes.
This is the Antonivskyi Bridge in #Kherson, as seen from a drone.

Liberating the rest of the region will be extremely difficult.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The first videos from abandoned #Chornobaivka reveal some of #Russia's ruined equipment from the 40 or so hits on the airport in north #Kherson.

#Chernobaevka #SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
There are reports tonight of explosions around #Chaplynka in the south of #Kherson near to #Crimea.

It's believed a lot of #Russia's equipment in the region was moved south to Chaplynka, especially the airport there.

Well, we need a "new" Chornobaivka😅

Good morning on Day 1176 of the war in Europe.
In my opinion, Ukraine should have won this war in 2022/23.

Effective leadership is based on good, decisive decisions. Sadly, the allies have never been decisive, preferring dithering and half measures.

Welcome to my daily thread:
What I mean by dithering is endless internal political battles in most countries to give adequate weapons. Scholz (Taurus), Biden (everything) the most obvious examples, though Joe was hampered by Congress and is way better than now

But it's always enough to survive, not to win

The start of a new week and simultaneously almost the end of 167 weeks of Russia's attempt to liberate Ukraine from its leader and remove the country from maps.

It's Day 1167 of Putin's full invasion. Welcome to Monday's daily thread.
First the link back to Sunday's thread for those who were busy y'day

It started with Ukraine counting the cost of yet more strikes on civilians and infrastructure but there were more strategic hits on Russia during the day, incl a night attack on Moscow.
If you were with me late last night, you will know about the ballistic missiles and big drone attack on Sumy.

I think Russia moved to attacking soft targets in big numbers.

A record 46% of UAVs were NOT stopped.
116 fired, just 42 shot down and 21 neutralised by EW.Image

Day 1163 of Russia's war of choice, invading a peaceful neighbour.

Another bloody and murderous night in Ukraine, but the pressure is all on Russia today as Ukraine signs the minerals deal, the US (finally) continues its shift against Putin and the oil price dives

Here's THE🧵
Good morning and happy May (or MayDay).

I have to say a new month brings new optimism for Ukraine following the US/Ukraine agreement.

That was the biggest news story of a near 50-post thread.
It took me ages - least you can do is read it!😂

1/4
There is a lot of criticism of the minerals deal, even more scepticism and a lot of confusion, so let me give my analysis and key points.

First, Yuliia Svyrydenko, Ukraine Dep PM gave her full explanation after signing the deal, this gives 🇺🇦 POV

Day 1158 of the war in Europe.
This is the daily thread for Saturday 26 April, and as I mentioned last night, the anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster.

A later start today, sorry if I kept you waiting, but let's waste no more time...
Yesterday we saw Russia attack civilians of course, but we also probably also got a reminder of the power of Ukraine's Military Intelligence, as a Russian general and a weapons designer were both confirmed dead.

Plus full details of the peace plan(s)⬇️
1/2
Also today of course, and continuing right now in the Vatican is the farewell to Pope Francis.

Putin cannot attend because he would be arrested as an indicted war criminal.

On the front row, Zelenskyy, Macron and Trump.

Hello at the start of another weekend, Day 1151 of the war in Europe.

Day by day the US paves the way for capitulation.
Trump may pretend there was no war in his first term, but his administration said it would never recognise Crimea.

This is THE daily thread for Saturday.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread.
Visibility is still low - 15k views.

Plenty to get your teeth into.. 100 fleeing Russian refuseniks, tRUmp on the verge of failure, and of course the attacks on Ukraine.
Catch up here:

With even tRUmp slowly realising he's been played by Putin all along with no intent on peace, Russia has upped the aerial attack on its next targets for invasion.

Sumy, Kostiantynivka + Kupiansk feel the full force.
In the latter 10 glide bombs in one day with 5 people injured. Image

This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.

Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.

Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.
